The garage will do what I ask them to - so do you recommend bushes as a preventative or is it probably unnecessary? It's not even hit 15k yet.

I have a Hyperpro front spring kit on the way, do I need to get anything else like seals, dust caps and so on? (It's going to be done by a garage but I like to hand them all the bits up front).

Ooo - that was me!

Might be doing it again tomorrow, but a little later...

(I can't send PMs yet)

Can you PM me your address so I can post you the OE CCTs that I've swapped for yours?

Cheers

Fitted the regulator/rectifier and Renntec passenger grab rail (I found all the supporting bracketry there, a previous owner had fitted one, then the rail had been removed so that saved me a little work). Found one of the wires to the rear lights had been rubbing on the grabrail support and had worn...

Had a full service and the CCTs changed for manuals so a bit happier about using it. :clap: http://www.iconoclast.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/images/service.jpg Jobs to do (got the bits waiting for me to find the time) - install new reg/rect as a precaution as something is draining the battery and it's a c...

I want to check mine to see if it contains the error and correct it.

I used Odyssey batteries in my Vmax and have just installed one in the VTR. The Vmax would sit for 6 months throughout winter and start first time (cranks the engine faster than stock), get ridden a few miles then put away for a couple more months. I never used a charger on it. The battery lasted fo...

I forgot to mention when I connected up the new battery it sparked - should there be anything drawing on it when everything's off? Fitted the hugger today - naturally the instructions are wrong, if you do it like that you can't get the nut on as the tyre is in the way so you have to undo it and atta...

Where are you based (perhaps update your location?)

Thought I had... obviously not. I'm in Bristol.

Ok so I've started doing stuff. Start off with something easy - new battery as it let me down a couple of weeks ago. Did I say easy? I got an Odyssey gel battery but the terminals are towards the middle, the battery is shorter and the positive cable doesn't reach. So off to Halfords for a 9" ca...

Before I go and buy a U to go there...

It was a dealer - although the pic is my workplace. Basically swapped my Vmax on the spur of the moment (and anyone that knows me would tell you I don't do that sort of thing). Life's too short. Thanks for the manual. Is the rectifier mounted on the right side near the battery between frame and pane...

Thanks Macv2 for the message about the CCT, I'll bear it in mind (why is there a 50 post until you can PM rule anyway? Never seen that before) :confused I'll do some spanner-waving - when the hugger and twin loud horns arrive I'll fit them - but I happily pay blokes to do the mucky stuff. :lol: Thou...

Oh yes, silly me, it already has an extender, I thought they were longer... 14520MBB013 were fitted according to the history? http://www.davidsilverspares.co.uk/parts/by-part-number/part_14520MBB003/ Can someone recommend a hugger? Or any to avoid? There seem to be a few out there. Grab rails seem t...
